THE NEW NATIVES We at The New Natives believe no story is too large or too small and our mission is to create a platform for writers, directors, actors, and designers who want to tell those stories. We want to bring theatre back to the people, by making affordable and accessible theatre for audiences from all corners of society. We aim to have no target demographic. We strive for artistic excellence and professionalism whether we are presenting work in its earliest fetal stages, or mounting full-scale productions. We aim to create an exchange between artist, audience and community, finding ways to give back and break down the wall between "the art" and the people watching it.
